Mr. Gold, how bizzare. I was just thinking about you today and wondering how you are doing, hope all is well? We're gonna have a great crew once NRL comes around with yourself, TGM, TRD and me. I can't wait...

[Celtics08]

Tomorrow I hope BIG over 201 in Detroit-Denver

[Byrone09]

Unbelievably bad 4th quarter...

[Romerowned]

Bad beat on your warriors/bobcats over total. After scoring 93 points in the first 3 quarters, the warriors put up 11 points in the fourth. lol.

[sando]

A 61 point quarter and a 69 point quarter and yet can't hit a game total of 202.

[mikmik]

Man that was tough this game was rigged

[RetardStrength]

This is why I despise the NBA sometimes. Unlucky sando.

Keep hammering away

Un-official NBA prop bet

Lamarcus Aldridge -7.5 pts and rbs v. Andrea Bargnani

Sportingbet/Centrebet -140, $1.71 I'm risking 2x to win approximately 1.4 Units

Just a simple spot bet looking to take advantage of the fact that Batum (16.4 pts, 5.8 rbs) is out, and Matthews (16 pts, 3.2 rbs) is most likely out as well. That is a lot of points and rebounds to cover and I have no doubt "the real Lamarcus Aldridge" will show up today. I actually think Toronto might win this game S/U, but regardless I expect LMA to put the team on his back as he has done constantly over the last 18 months and really put in work today.

*If you find similar LMA props at your book, for example LMA over ____ points, then I would play the over for no more than over 23 points max at -115 ish.

Well anyone who followed on this, I'd say we're looking pretty good as even though I would NEVER wish an injury on another for the sake of making money, it has regardless happened and Bargnani has left the game with an elbow injury. Regardless of whether he returns, he will have a lot of scoring/rebounding to do to cover the differential which already sits at 14. (LMA pts/rbs - 18) (Bargnani pts/rbs - 4).

[thorny]

i wanted to get on Aldridge bet, but they didnt offer it on Sportsbet nor Bet365...so annoying

[amarius87]

thanks sando for the heat n spurs over picks today!

[thorny]

The Bargnani injury must have affected the Raptors...

[Tim Gerry Mander]

Nice picks again today Sando.

Unlicky with GSW total - that should have sailed wayyyyy over.

Looks like TOR are gone - did the injuries affect them that much?

[thorny]

Well done for the day Sando...a positive day!

GSW total should have gone over. I thought 2nd Quarter was bad, the 4th was worse!
Ah well, that's betting for you.

[tblues2005]

Sando once in a while you have some bad luck and it just happens somehow. A flat out ugly 4th quarter too. I know you will get them back later this week.

[sando]

Stay focused. Long season. Keep grinding.

[radostin.dimi]

Good call on the Miami

[pipita17]

followed miami..great call.tonight on lakers -4.5 ? or its a "sucidal" bet..

[elPkay]

My unit range is 1-5. So far this season from memory we haven't had any picks over 3x and only 4-5 of those. As the season progresses we will no doubt start finding some 4x and possibly even 5x picks as more data is gathered and trends appear, and spot betting opportunities arise, etc. I assign units to each pick based on the percieved value they represent from a betting point of view. Not on the percieved strength of the pick. This difference is very important. We are talking someone who wants to win over the course of an NBA season (percieved value) vs. someone who just wants to win today (percieved strength). I do not care about winning or losing today, I care about finding +EV picks, knowing that to do so means I will have a very profitable season. Someone who randomly tails picks here and there and has lost more than they have won, I'm sorry, however it's not my problem. I'm in this for the long haul. Who knows, I may end up going 0-4 today. That doesn't mean the picks were bad or I don't have a clue about the NBA (as Daimoshokage loves to tell everyone), as it's all part of a far larger picture.

If you want anymore info regarding my style and methods, then go back a few pages where I did a MASSIVE write-up explaining step by step exactly how I make my selections.

Thanks alot for the detailed answer.
I played Online Poker for a long time (actual winning player up to NL$100) so I know about long term winnings/expectations and EV but I just started betting this NBA season and I gotta learn alot.
Not easy since I don't have that much time to donate but I'm mostly tailing you and GM to build a bankroll.
I'm thankful for all the high quality information everyone in here gets (for free!) and even if I didn't start tailing you from day 1, I'm up 16 units this season.

/edit:

Of course I'm looking forward to roll with all of your bets to make sure I don't miss any value

Yea, elPkay, poker is a good learning experience for sports betting. Poker players get very good at percentage analysis and making a decision and then letting the game play out. Coming back to sports betting has been much easier because you recognize probability and bad beats as just a part of the game.

[Catchn_Picks]

Good luck tonight sando and all.

Yeah I like them both, Knicks out to -3.5 and the Pistons are always scoring over 100+ at home.

[TiredPro]

Do you have an opinion of RLM and is it something you consider in your handicapping ?? Been watching your plays from afar. Thanks for your efforts.

[Byrone09]

[usfunca]

GL tonight sando.

[yankeefan1024]

Sando, bet -3?

[vasilli07]

Sando, bet -3?

Is there really any big difference between -2.5 or -3? If you are taking at -3, you will just push if Clippers win by 3.

[wguan2]

Is there really any big difference between -2.5 or -3? If you are taking at -3, you will just push if Clippers win by 3.

Clearly you haven't gambled enough if you don't think a half point is a big difference. Go ask the guys who took Knicks -3 and the ones who managed to get Knicks -2.5
